Interesting puff piece in the OZ today about political donations to political parties by the same entity who was in the gun to develop the contaminated landfill site on the Southern side of Bankstown. Wonder how much he donated to get approval for that?

Its illegal now in NSW for political parties to accept donations from property sharks because of all the corruption that went on.
Same doesn't apply to Federal politicians and Bankstown is allegedly Commonwealth land and therefore not subject to State approvals, scrutiny or laws. A somewhat debatable hypothesis since it carries a State portfolio and lot number. I would suggest its state land, owned by the commonwealth therefore it comes under NSW law.
